Buying a house from my Mother

    Hey boards.ie, I saw some great advice regarding this kind of stuff somewhere so I joined to ask.

    I'm wondering is is possible to buy my Mother's house at about 1/3rd the estimated market price.

    Because the value of the house is under €255,000, or whatever the CAT threshold is, does this mean I am exempt from paying any CAT?

    How does property tax and stamp duty work if I pay less than market value, or do I have to pay PT and SD on the estimated market value irrespective of what I am paying?

    I can provide more information I'm just unsure what else might be relevant. Thanks in advance for the help

    I think revenue liabilities are calculated on values rather than costs.

    I was in this boat a few years ago. House potential value was 440k and bought for 380k, but the assessor valued the house as I requested (380k) to get under the stamp duty margin at the time. Property tax will also be based on estimated value.

    Revenue calculates transactions on a cost basis unless it occurs between connected parties in which case liabilities are calculated on a value basis

    This is a request for legal/taxation advice.

    Answering these questions incorrectly could cost a lot of money.

    OP, please read the forum charter before posting again.
